One Direction Update 1/12/15 Hey everyone! And Happy Birthday

That's a good way to put it. It's hard enough to be honest when you're not in the spotlight; the extra attention can sometimes make it really difficult. But I agree, I hope the boys feel they can be honest about everything, the good and the bad. I sometimes wish, as they might, that it would be possible for them to share something with only a select group of people like the fans. To be able to say something you'd like to say without the media being able to get their hands all over it. I hope you find it!

That's really interesting! Do you read any anime, too or do you mainly just watch it? And now I have to ask, do you like it subtitled or dubbed?
You're lucky. I get bloody noses a lot. And yes, I do remember it being overcast. You could almost say it was chilly! We got pretty good weather, I think. You have a good memory for weather!

Yeah, you could wait for that big drop. Where would you like to sit if you get tickets? Yes, anything can happen! I wasn't really scared about not being able to find my parents, but I don't think my stadium was as big as yours. How big was yours again? And yeah, I'm going alone. My family's coming to Minneapolis, but come concert time, I think they're going to do their own thing.
Aw, yes...Recently looking at really young pictures of them makes me feel like I'm seeing an old friend again. You know what I mean? Anyways, thank you for that! Those are some pretty great memories to re-live!

Haha, thanks, pal. :)

Wow, I'm surprised you told him. Are you annoyed that he asked and/or glad that you told him? I'm glad that he said he wouldn't separate you guys, even though it sort of annoys me that he would invade your personal life like that AGAIN. Anyways, good luck with those 20 minutes! I hope they go well and I hope your text conversation starts back up again soon. It's good that you're trying to learn from your mistakes, pal. My advice would be to cherish your friendship with Ben, but don't completely crush the more romantic feelings you have for him either. It's okay to be vulnerable, as every relationship requires vulnerability, but I applaud you for also looking out for yourself. And of course I don't mind, Jenny. :) You're at a point where you're trying to figure a lot of stuff out, and that's what friends are for- to listen and help as best they can. :)

I hope you're feeling a-ok! :)

Ugh that's so so true. I love how they always try to be so honest though. Like when a fan is doing something rude on Twitter. They aren't afraid to call them out. But like you said I wish they could just tell a small group of people things. And be a part of that group! But the media really is what ruins all of that, like you said. And I did find that app! I just searched Who We Are in the app store and it popped right up!

I never was into reading it actually until quite recently. I always saw people in high school read it and I thought "How can you get into something that's all pictures like that?" Especially since you read it right to left! But when I re got into Sailor Moon I just had to read the books and I really enjoy them! So other animes that I like I've been finding the books for those too. Because quite often the anime doesn't always cover what the book does. So reading gives you more of the story. And as for subs or dubs, for the most part I prefer subtitles. I used to only like dubs because you don't have to read them. But after watching one with the subs, I realized that the dubs are done super inaccurately! Plus they sometimes end up with cheesy acting. And I get the added bonus of learning Japanese words with subs. But I will watch a dub if it seems on point with the Japanese and the acting is good! For an example the show Toradora has an excellent dub!

Yeah that sucks. I remember on Black Friday, my boss was talking to me and his nose just started bleeding! It wasn't pleasant! And yeah I do tend to have a good memory for weather and in general. I think I'm sort of a human tape recorder. I never forget anything!

If I get the tickets, depending on how much they are, I'd like to try to get close again but without having VIP. But honestly anything would be good. Because from what I've heard, having tickets up in the balcony in a stadium is better than having farther back floor seats. You can see and hear more up there! And my stadium held 80,000 people. But that was for football seating. So when you take out the seats behind the stage, probably 60,000 ish? And do you feel weird going by yourself? I know you've always sat alone but this will be the first time no one's in the stadium/arena right?
And yeah I do know what you mean! Seeing those older pictures makes you feel like you're seeing a good old friend you knew, yet you still know them now. It's hard to wrap your mind around! Here's some Zayn in honor of his birthday yesterday! http://1ddaily-updates.tumblr.com/post/107845687424/zaynsguineapig-bride-zileh-where-did-time-go

No problem!

Ugh. I'm actually not too glad I told him. Like, I felt pressured into saying it. And I thought it might be better to just be honest and tell the truth. But he freaking lied to me! He made next week's schedule and he separated us again. And I'm really angry because, in my opinion, us being friends (or more) isn't his business as long as it isn't interfering with work. Am I right? And I'm just super frustrated because he's just taking all of the fun away. I feel like he's going to ruin this and there's nothing I can do about it. But anyway, I actually got about an hour and a half today! My assistant manager asked me to come in early and help with another project. And it was awesome Katie! He was all happy to see me. We took out the trash together. (Yes not the most glamorous of jobs but yay!). And he was all cute making sure I didn't slip on ice. And then he was supposed to leave at 3:15 but stayed like 15-20 minutes longer making excuses as to why he had to stay. Ugh it was just a great day for me. Not to mention that we've been texting all day since too! And thanks for the advice. It's just hard for me to not just stick to friendship because I feel like I've been so easily burned in the past. I guess it's like I feel safe keeping it in the friendzone. I don't want to lose what I have now. And what I have now is pretty sweet. But like you said, being vulnerable isn't all too bad at times either. And thanks again for all of your advice and time. It means a lot to me.

And yes! I feel 100% better! Thank you!
